About us
“Tasker & Partners is a Lloyd’s Broker, incorporated in 1999.
We are authorised by the Financial Services Authority and
carry ISO9001:2000 certification.
Our location directly opposite the Lloyd’s Building and our
status as a registered Lloyd’s Broker allows us to provide
quality broking services and an independent gateway to
the London Market.
We are an experienced team committed to quality.
We have clear objectives for future developments and
continue to encourage high calibre individuals to join us
so as to ensure continued excellence of service to
our customers”
Paul Tasker, Managing Director
Catering for the complex risk and product design needs of the corporate sector worldwide
Tasker & Partners is one of 162 registered Lloyd’s brokers
bringing risks to the market on behalf of their customers.
Since its early days based in a 17th century coffee
shop, Lloyd’s has proved time and time again that it
can respond quickly to change and meet customer
demands. Lloyd’s underwriters are known throughout
the world for devising tailored, innovative solutions to
complex problems.
Lloyd’s covers the world’s most complex and specialist
risks – from oil rigs to celebrities, from major airlines to
the world’s biggest banks and sporting events.
Global Reach
Tasker & Partners has become an established and
independent firm of Lloyd’s Brokers operating in the
City of London. We serve our clients by helping them to
identify their risk exposures and by proposing ways in
which to transfer their risks to the commercial Insurers
based in the London and International markets.
We focus program design, risk consulting, marketing
and negotiation. We customise placements to meet
the needs of our clients’, providing a quality and
efficient service.
This approach has substantially increased the list of
clients we represent in the marketplace, attracting
further key market professionals to join us, and
allowing us more diversified skills to offer to our clients.
Insurance Broking
Tasker & Partners provide a broking service, accessing
the Lloyd’s and London Markets. Our team will be pleased
to discuss with you any placement requirements for
schemes or individual risks.
Areas of Business
The diversity of our clients is a function of our unique
access to global Insurers. The London market is an
international marketplace and Lloyd’s is an important
part of this.
Our position in the centre of the market allows us
greater flexibility than many of our larger competitors
and allows our clients access to the market efficiently.
Business Insurance
Tasker & Partners developed the Meridian policy. It is
the product we issue for the majority of business risks
underwritten in house via our underwriting facilities.
More and more brokers are appreciating the fusion
of traditional approach and latest technology as the
answer for their mid-market commercial risks.
The core product covers all necessary commercial
combined risks but also includes the flexibility to tailor
make a policy for your client. Meridian gives you the
“one stop” solution because we understand that no
two businesses and their risks are the same.
Personal Accident
We arrange personal accident schemes for associations,
charities, affinity groups and sports. Wherever there is
a risk of accidental injury Tasker & Partners can tailor
make a solution.
Scales of benefits can be tailored to the
requirements of the insured and additional benefits
for Physiotherapy, Dental Care and Necessary
Emergency Medical Treatment can be added where
considered appropriate.
Our personal accident schemes for Golf, Football and
Cricket players are all available online allowing us to
process high volumes of low premium business.
Tasker & Partners’ ClubPM and ClubEX
products have proved to be second to
none. Accurate rating within the confines
of the current marketplace provides a
real edge, combined with an extremely
knowledgeable team this provides a
winning combination.

Marine & Cargo
The diversity of the London Market enables us to
arrange a complex range of products on both a
reinsurance and direct basis. Cargo and Stock
throughput policies can be placed providing customers
with beneficial cost – through our special insurer
relationships and cover – from our diversity of products.
We can provide a bespoke advisory and placement
service for businesses operating in the Freight
Forwarding industry including haulers, logistics
operators and forwarders.
All our products can be enhanced to include War on
Land risks, a class usually excluded under standard
cargo policies.
Binding Authorities
Tasker & Partners can draw on a vast experience of
product driven and binding authority business in the
Lloyd’s and London Markets.
As the insurance market concentrates on continued
improvement in customer service we facilitate various
instruments to streamline business channels and
reduce overheads.
Tasker & Partners is ideally suited to manage business
for Brokers and Insurers into the future, ensuring that
settlements and risk data is produced and received
correctly. We currently administer binding authorities,
schemes and placements for Underwriting Agencies
and non-Lloyd’s brokers and have developed software
solutions to ensure our customers can increase
their efficiency.
This dedicated approach to technology means a
streamlined management of business which enables our
clients to concentrate on their core operations whilst
ensuring contract certainty and adhesion to binding
authority terms. We are pleased to have an excellent
relationship with the Underwriters and Insurers who
support us and continue to produce solutions for Cover
holders and Scheme Operators.
Tasker are reliable, friendly, effective and they
consistently deliver on their service standards.
I recently asked them to help set up a liability
scheme on my behalf with a reputable
underwriter for a tough line of business.
Not only did they find a suitable interested
underwriter, but they also assisted in scheme
and binding authority negotiations, which has
enabled us to get the scheme up and running
in a short space of time.

Trade Credit and Surety
The Hoskyn Tasker Partnership Limited is an
appointed representative of Tasker & Partners
which focuses specifically on providing credit risk
management advice and insurance solutions to the
corporate sector.
Extending credit to customers involves significant risk,
however, a business can minimise this risk by insuring
against the default or insolvency of its customers.
Trade credit insurance covers the risk of bad debt
and is an essential tool in credit management as
it can provide a replacement of working capital
when bad debts impact on cash flow or threaten
insolvency itself. We can also offer a variety of
bonds, another often essential instrument.
It is important to distinguish between insurance
and suretyship as a surety bond is not an insurance
policy. A surety bond is a guarantee, in which the
surety guarantees that the contractor, called the
“principal” in the bond, will perform the “obligation”
stated in the bond.
The most common bonds that are available are
contract performance bonds, bid bonds and
payment bonds but there are many variations.
We will identify the risks and place bonds with the
appropriate underwriting partner.
Our insurance approach centres on an in-depth
understanding of a business’ trading risks and
the relevant application of an assortment of risk
management applications. Trade Credit and Surety
remain non-mandatory purchases but in our view
are becoming must have protections. We are happy
to work in unison with brokers to ensure customers
are offered solutions which help them to trade
confidently and safely.
Entertainment & Leisure
We have built on our success in the Licensed Trade
sector to create products for most aspects of the
Entertainment and Leisure arena. We utilise a panel
of insurers who are market renown in sector many of
whom have given us exclusive arrangements to provide
products to venues, participants, visitors and players.
By the implication of effective risk management and
targeted purchase of insurance protection we can work
with you and the client to ensure the leisure business is
properly protected.
Contingency planning and reimbursement for
cancellation or abandonment of events are additional
covers that Tasker & Partners provide to the
entertainment sector.

there are exposures to third parties as well as clients’
own employees.
